The above list comprises the 36 highest mountains of the World, and was correct at the time of going to press. In other words, I am not going to accept responsibility for any errors or omissions because I'm not that brave or stupid. Axiompc.

I intended to put just the six mountains here that were the highest in Scotland, Wales, England, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, but finally decided to include Ben Macdhui, Cairntoul and Breariach because I've been to the top of them along with a few others in the Cairngorm range. I've also been to the Snowdon summit but cannot see me getting to the other five now. Axiompc.
